Minutes

Meeting called to order at 11:00am EST.

Technical Matters

• • Bytes param
    • Is now implemented in both Silhouette (host) and Mocha Pro (plug-in)
    • Older versions of Silhouette will not return an error if a plug-in attempts to use a bytes param
    • Paul will add an example plugin, which should set and validate a block of data that has nulls in the middle, and also handle the case when a host doesn't support the bytes param
    • Doc update should mention that the size of the data could be different on each keyframe, and shouldn't be interpolated
    • The bytes param should be mandatory for 1.5, and a host support property is required
  • Colour management:
    • Extensive discussion of the use of OCIO roles in the spec led to a decision that we should stop using the legacy roles, and add a new OFX-specific one for log. J-P to run this past Doug Walker for comment
    • Phil had not realised that the plug-in output colourspace was under the control of the plug-in. This needs a doc update to be clearer - Phil will write a note on the PR with the changes he thinks are needed
  • Metadata:
    • It would be nice to have a property suite v2 with introspection to determine the property type.
    • Paul will rev the spec to add this.
  • Boolean animation:
    • The isSupported property for this should be deprecated because all hosts support it.

Organizational Matters

• J-P found he was unable to edit Confluence to record the minutes. Gary to follow up with John Mertic to make sure at least J-P and Pierre can edit - this has now been fixed.
